Progress so far

Production: I have currently filmed what I intended to (except the classroom scene, which I decided to cut a few weeks ago). Overall I am happy with what I have to work with, however if a shot isn't working as well as I intended it to in post-production then pick up shots might be in order.

Post-production: In between filming I've been editing the footage in Premiere Pro and After Effects. This has helped me to know whether I am short of footage or if certain parts need to be cut. A couple more sessions of editing, and  I should be able to show a test audience in order to get vital feedback.

CD: Before filming I started to play around with a design for the digipack, especially the front cover. Currently I am still thinking about sticking to the red/blue and black/white colour scheme. In the next few weeks my aim is to start work on the insert, and try and bring everything together as a more coherent package. For the insert I am thinking about using the photos taken while filming.

Other details like the band members and recording location also need to be included.

Best music videos of all time?

I've come across a few online articles when searching for the best music videos of all time, using ratings from NME, timeout and Billboard I've complied a short list of the music video that are considered to be the best of all time. Interestingly the music videos I've looked at are all completely different in concept and type.  Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Influence for the look of the video came from the 1979 film, Over The Edge. The band distributed out flyers two days before the shoot, asking fans to appear in the video. A radio station in LA (KXLU) also made a casting call for extras. At the end of the filming, Kurt Cobain suggested letting the extras wreck the set. Bayer, the director, agreed and the destruction at the end of the music video occurred. Kurt didn't like the director's cut, so he personally watched over the re-edit, which is the final version. Amy Finnerty, who had only just joined the music programming department at MTV, campaigne...
